Who wants more development and trains?!? Click here.

All Aboard Florida is a real estate venture by a New York private equity and hedge fund company that apparently involves the use of several empty trains as rolling visual backdrops for the high-rise commercial and residential developments at the three South Florida stations in Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach.

These trains, which can whisk theoretical riders from the Starbucks at the West Palm Beach station to the Starbucks at the Miami station for a mere $28 to $34 one-way fare, are depending on selling tax-exempt bonds to private investors.

And so it would be nice for you, the public, to feign some excitement.

Especially since there are so many neighborhoods — basically all of Palm Beach County’s coastal cities except for West Palm Beach — that will experience this venture mainly by waiting at crossing gates for the 32 times a day that the trains they won’t be riding will pass by.

We can’t expect much support from those people. Sure, there may be the odd masochist here and there, say a member of the Fans of Accidental Car Alarms Coalition, The Palm Beach County Paper Cut Club or the local chapter of the Castor Oil Condiment Society.

But mostly, people who live in neighborhoods near passing trains generally consider it a quality of life improvement when fewer trains, not more, pass by.
